First Day

So my trip did not get off to a great start. My flight from Raleigh to Newark was cancelled due to an engine problem and rescheduled for tomorrow morning at 5:45 AM. I am not a morning person, but at least I am getting to Newark on a plane without a broken engine. Basically, I spent the entire day at the airport and came back home completely exhausted. Hopefully, tomorrow will turn out to be a happier, more exciting day!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog, which I will be using primarily to talk about my adventures in Pune, India! NSLI-Y stands for National Security Language Initiative for Youth, and they give out scholarships for high school students to study a language and have an immersion experience in another country's culture for a summer or a year. I will be studying Hindi in Pune for the summer! I will be staying with a host family for the six week period, and I recently found out that I have a sister one year older than me and an brother two years younger than me. I am very excited, and I hope you guys will follow me on my journeys!
